8 Mile race on Monday...what to do till then ? (Read 454 times)

What should i focus on the next few days ? I've just bumped up my mileage quite a bit the last few weeks but aside from some slight fatigue everything feels great, i'm thinking maybe one rest day, one day easy 5 mile run and one day short 3 mile tempo ish ?? is that a good plan ?

that sounds like a good plan...5 today, rest tomorrow, 3 easy on Sat, rest on Sunday and run like hell on MOnday. Even though cutting back/tapering/resting before a race plays with my mind, I find that I really do perform much better with that rest. I looked at your running log and it looks like your plan will mesh nicely. Good luck!

Eight miles on Monday ... I'd do the short 3 mile tempoish tomorrow (Friday), an easy five miler Saturday, and a rest day sunday. Good luck!
